Episode 7: Cuttin' Up About Adapting IP (Intellectual Property)
Apr 09, 2024
The Creative Cut Up podcast is a lively and honest space for storytellers that sits at the intersection of craft, business, and creative freedom.
Join us weekly, where Felicia Pride and her co-hosts, Dria Roland and Georgette Pierre, talk shop and smack, share the good, the bad, and the ugly, and provide tangible tips to support your creative practice, your career, and your artist self.
In Ep 7, me and my co-hosts, Dria (HONEY CHILE’s book maven) and Georgette dig into HONEY CHILE’s unique approach to sourcing and adapting IP and the projects we have set up that touch upon the three main areas of IP we explore in our BASED ON: How to Adapt Books, Articles, Real Life Stories for Film and TV class (now on-demand). Plus we share some insight into how we became attached to Tia Williams’ New York Times’ bestselling book, SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, with our partners, Will Packer Media and Kinetic.
